Residents of south Scottsdale are invited to participate in a series of discussions to plan the future of their neighborhoods.

City planners want input from residents, business and property owners who own property south of Indian Bend Road, excluding the downtown area. Several two-hour discussions, called café sessions, are planned in October and November to create the Southern Scottsdale Community Area Plan.

The new discussions will be based upon themes identified in the Spring 2008 Southern Scottsdale Visioning Workshop series.
